Question 2

How do I choose a CS2 shotguns? What is good for beginners?

Accepted Answer

Shotguns dominate corners, tunnels and site entries: the XM1014 auto-blasts forgive misses, the MAG-7 hits harder in fewer shells, the Nova is the cheap opener gamble. They are point-blank weapons — stay off long angles.

Question 3

How is TTK calculated for shotguns?

Accepted Answer

TTK = (shots-to-kill − 1) × 60000 ÷ RPM, based on no-armor headshot damage at the weapon's default engagement range. Unlike VALORANT, CS2 headshots multiply ×4, armor resolves via penetration %, and legs ignore armor.

Which shotguns work on eco rounds?

Accepted Answer

On eco, watch price and kill reward: Nova ($1050), Sawed-Off ($1100), MAG-7 ($1300). Every weapon page labels its economy role (eco/force/full).
